The number one question I get from my friends and followers alike is, “Where Do You Shop?” Truth be told, I’m a 90% online, 10% spontaneous mall shopper. There’s literally nothing in between when I shop for clothes.
Over the years I’ve found the best places to online shop (I finally figured out how to navigate Amazon and stop wasting my money – check out that post HERE). I’m sharing them with you today!
You can shop my looks by following ALWAYSMELISS on the free LikeToKnow.It app!
The Stores
1. Amazon
There’s a reason I put Amazon as number 1! I’ve been finding the cutest clothes and accessories on Amazon lately. There’s definitely an art to shopping for clothes on Amazon (which is why I always try to make recommendations on Instagram). I NEVER buy anything without reviews or a photo. I also stick to Amazon Prime items. I’ve found the quality is a bit better, and I don’t like waiting for a month to get anything (I’ll just forget I ordered it).
If you’re on a budget and need clothes, I highly recommend shopping on Amazon!
Here’s a few of my latest Amazon posts (this should help):
Amazon Wedding Guest Dresses Under $100
Here’s my favorite pieces I’m currently wearing from Amazon:
2. Nordstrom
Nordstrom is a one stop shop for everything! Whether you’re shopping for clothes, gifts, shoes, or home, I always find what I need. Not to mention, they have the easiest return policy (aside from Revolve – see below). It’s vital to have an easy shipping and return method when shopping for clothes and such online.
Nordstrom also carries some of my favorite brands like TopShop, Madewell, Zella, and Ali & Jay.
Here’s some of my latest Nordstrom purchases:
3. Abercrombie
The days of the moose are long gone and A&F has completely stepped up their game! A few weeks ago I was in Las Vegas with Makenna and our guys, and I was sweating while we were walking around the strip. I stopped into Abercrombie in hopes of finding something easy to throw on, and found the absolute cutest denim jumpsuit (on sale for $31 right now!!)! If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve seen me wear this jumpsuit on repeat.
Abercrombie has completely transformed their brand! They are carrying trendy and affordable clothing, and constantly run sales.
My current faves from Abercrombie:
4. Closet Candy Boutique
Closet Candy Boutique is an online shop (with one store location in Indianapolis) based out of Phoenix, Arizona. Last month, I was thrilled to be able to meet with the owners and see their headquarters and warehouse. They have super cute, quality made clothing, shoes, and accessories, and almost everything is under $50!
Closet Candy also supports local charities by donating 10% of their top line dollar. There’s nothing I like more than supporting a brand who gives back to the community! I can’t say enough good things about their products, but also about the company as a whole.
I wrote more about CCB HERE and below are a few of my favorite products:
5. Revolve
Revolve has made a HUGE name for themselves in the online shopping space! They carry a ton of exclusive brands, and are always on trend. Their products are made extremely well, and I’m never worried about showing up to an event wearing the same thing as anyone else if I get something from Revolve. They have price points that are in every range, so you can always find something within your budget!
They carry brands I always buy like BB Dakota, Free People, and Schutz, but also have exclusive brands like About Us, Superdown, and by the way.
Here’s a few items I just purchased on the site:
6. Shop Priceless
Priceless is another AZ Local brand that I’m a huge fan of! Most of their clothes are trendy and under $50. If you’re looking for a cute online boutique with trendy and affordable clothes, Priceless is your spot!
7. Express
When in doubt, go to Express! I always find something there, whether I’m shopping for jeans and casual tops, or a jazzy New Years Eve outfit. I almost always wait for sales, because they have killer ones!
8. Red Dress
Red Dress is an amazing online boutique! They have a cool story, and were actually featured on Shark Tank (I love that show). Anyways, they’ve come a really long way and have incredibly cute and affordable clothing. Most of it is under $50!
Here’s a few items I own or am eyeing:
9. Forever 21
No I’m not 21 anymore (in fact I’m almost +11), but I’ve found that Forever 21 has really stepped up their game! They carry insanely affordable clothes, and I’ve been able to navigate fit by looking at material and how things look on the models. I’m almost always a size small, and if the items don’t work I can just ship them back. Super easy!
Here’s a few items I just picked up last week:
10. Lulus
Lulus has literally everything! I love their products, because they’re affordable and good for every occasion. Whether you’re shopping for a casual every day outfit, something to wear going out, or you’re looking for a wedding guest dress, 9/10 times I find something at Lulus! I actually did all of my bridesmaid’s dresses from Lulus and they were under $80 each.
Accessories!
For accessories, my two favorite stores are The Styled Collection and Sequin Jewelry. Both are extremely affordable, they do not tarnish, and make good quality products. I have so many pieces from both stores, and if you are looking for staple pieces, I highly recommend these stores! You also get 20% off on Sequin Jewelry with code MELISSA20.
